Christmas/Holiday gifts for relatives?
Any ideas what we could give relatives (i.e sister brother-in-law with two children) for Christmas? They are as follows:
1. Sister. 2. Brother-in-law. 3. Niece, 20 years old. 4. Nephew, 16 years old, plays drums and just starting to drive. Thanks

This is generally a very hard question to answer without alot more info, but FWIW my family seems to be fond of gift certificates in situations like this. A BestBuy gift card for the 16 year-old, for instance might be appropriate, Gap card for the 20 year-old...etc.
Like my Mom says, "money always fits". Mike

I thought of an Advanced Auto Parts certificate for the 16year old, but not sure he's into cars yet though. Gap card sounds interesting.

It kind of depends on what they're into. For the 16 year old a gift certificate for a music store where he can buy more drums, cymbols, sticks, etc.
Gap gift certificate is always good for teen/college girls. How about your sister? If she's into crafts buy her a girft card for a craft store. Shoes and clothes? Gift card for her favorite department store. Brother in law? Is he into hunting? Gift card for outdoor store. Golf? Gift card for a golf/sorting goods store. If he's into Porsches get him a PP gift certificate. (That's what I always ask for). |

A magazine subscription related to some hobby they enjoy, etc., is always a nice thing, too.

The 20 year old might appreciate a fake ID, although the use she would get out of it would be minimal since she will be 21 in less than a year.
The 16 year old would probably appreciate a year subscription to playboy or penthouse. |
